Wednesday, September 30, 2009. Dumb Move by GM to End Saturn.

EnergyGuy's Musings: Peak Oil and Unicorns Both Mythical
http://energyguysmusings.blogspot.com/2009/07/peak-oil-and-unicorns-both-mythical.html
Friday, July 3, 2009. Peak Oil and Unicorns Both Mythical. Peak oil, however, is a myth. Peak oil is a myth, just as unicorns are mythical. Http:/ www.eia.doe.gov/emeu/steo/pub/fsheets/real prices.html. The grand game that is being played out around the world involves oil, natural gas, and renewable energy, also automotive technologies, and now climate change legislation. The stakes are high, the players are world-wide, and opportunities for making and losing vast fortunes exist. Roger E. Sowell, Esq.

EnergyGuy's Musings: Green Jobs and Energy
http://energyguysmusings.blogspot.com/2009/10/green-jobs-and-energy.html
Sunday, October 11, 2009. Green Jobs and Energy. What are green jobs, and how does energy production tie in? The current thinking among the Carbon is Killing Us Crowd, those who devoutly believe that CO2 in the atmosphere is already causing catastrophic world-wide changes, is that green jobs derive from reducing or eliminating a fossil-fuel economy in favor of increasing a renewable energy-driven economy. That would be roughly 1500 to 2000 more green jobs if the greenies' jobs-math is correct. One mu...

EnergyGuy's Musings: June 2009
http://energyguysmusings.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 21, 2009. Musings on Many Things - 2. A few more items crossed my desk and screen this week. Pete du Pont, former governor of Delaware, came out strong in favor of nuclear power plants for the U.S. Apparently he has not read about the high cost of nuclear plants, and the subsequent high cost of the power from them. I question why any Republican wants to raise electric power prices, which will happen if and when nuclear plants are built again. I gave my scheduled presentation on California's ...

EnergyGuy's Musings: Zero Cost LNG
http://energyguysmusings.blogspot.com/2009/09/zero-cost-lng.html
Sunday, September 6, 2009. Can LNG, even after re-gasification and compression into distribution pipelines, ever be considered to have a zero cost? The answer is very, very close to yes, but only if one uses the same idiotic rationale as does the nuclear power industry. For many years, the nuclear power advocates (see Nuclear Nuts. On the same basis, therefore, what would be the price of LNG? Could it be zero? Their little game has been exposed. Roger E. Sowell. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

EnergyGuy's Musings: Dilute Energy Sources
http://energyguysmusings.blogspot.com/2009/10/dilute-energy-sources.html
Sunday, October 4, 2009. A thread on WattsUpWithThat.com strayed onto nuclear power. The other day, and I offered a few comments. This seems appropriate to reproduce them here, with additional comments added. As some may remember from the 1960s an old saying "What if they gave a War, and nobody came? Today, we can rephrase that for the South Texas Nuclear Project's proposed expansion as "What if they wanted to build a new nuclear power plant, and nobody invested? Their track record is horrendous. Sorry, ...

EnergyGuy's Musings: August 2009
http://energyguysmusings.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 31, 2009. Global Warming and Zero Wind. Unseasonal frost alerts and warnings were, and are, being issued by the National Weather Service in August of 2009. The northern states of Wisconsin, Michigan, upstate New York, Maine, and other New England states all have had such frost warnings in the past few days, as shown above in the bright blue areas in those states. Is it a coincidence that masses of high pressure air, bearing no wind, settle over these areas? This leads to several questions.

EnergyGuy's Musings: July 2009
http://energyguysmusings.blogspot.com/2009_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 27, 2009. Recession Causes Refinery Closures. One of the results of the ongoing economic recession is very low refinery utilization rates, and low operating margins. One recent source. States that marginal refineries will shut down, especially those that are independent refineries with no oil production of their own. At what point will the tax-and-spend and more-regulations-are-good forces realize that industry is the golden goose in America? It takes very little for massive refineries to ch...
